Political captive…active

Me

Possibly the hierarchy…will continually

Arrest me…maybe I’ll be like Assata in New Jersey

When they circumspectly...raid me…plainly

They frame me

Painstakingly…seeking oligarchy…

Though they preach democracy…molesting clergy…telepathically

Spiritually…seeking tranquility

And serenity…

Me

Abducted…jaded…faded…highly celebrated

And castrated…definitely hated

I have become invaded…I am incarcerated

Mid-educated…tainted…

Incinerated

Me

Plucked…fucked…shucked…and touched

Damned…slammed…tanned…and banned

I stand...with no land…and one million

Demands

Goddess, deliver me out of evil’s hands…

Me

With all the scams…plans…and Uncle Sams

Where

NYPD vans…crush us like Coca-Cola cans

Where

The street crime in disguise…can reap your demise

Where

 

All of us are filthy …in this Babylon like city…

Firey like Waco...peace to Castro and Steven Biko

 

Original, fictional, universal

Temporal, surreal…

The raw deal

Me
